This week I've been having fun with nail polish. To prove I've been paying attention to trends (via Bex, a Style Diary & Rose a La Mode) I decided to try painting my nails in the different color fashion that is going around, the one where you paint all your nails one color but your ring finger you paint a different complimentary color.
Look #1:
Main: Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Right Said Red ($4.50 via Target)
Ring finger: Creme Salon Formula Nail Laquer Moody Blues ($3.00 via Ulta)
Look #2:
Main: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color - Mint Sorbet ($2.49 via Target)
Ring finger: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color - Lacey Lilac ($2.49 via Target)
Main: Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Right Said Red ($4.99 via Target)
Ring finger: Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure some coral color I can't find online
& forgot the name of ($4.99 via Target)
Ring: Charlette Russe ($2.99)
My camera was dead when I first painted all these so I used my phone camera. Not the best quality but it gives you the idea. I'm really loving the Right Said Red color! It also goes on super smooth. The coral color, even though the same brand, doesn't. It's weird. I don't think I've painted my finger nails this much in...well, ever. The first set I did Friday night. I changed colors Saturday night and then did it again Monday night. They need to be redone but I haven't had time. I'm so rough on my hands they chip right away so after a day or two they are trashed!
I took Bex's advise last week and grabbed myself some Garnier Skin Renew Anti Sun-Damage Daily Moisture Lotion ($11.97 via Walmart). I've been using it since Sunday and I love it! Since I've been having problems with Avon reps lately I ran out of my
ANEW REJUVENATE Day Revitalizing Cream SPF 25 and instead of trying to find a new rep who sells online (for the 4th) time I decided to just grab something from the store. I originally grabbed the Target brand Up & Up's version of Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer, they had the exact same ingredients so I went with the version that was on sale ($10.99). I haven't loved it. It's too thick and has the consistency & smell of thick sun tan lotion. My skin hasn't hated it but it hasn't loved it either. Since switching to the Garnier moisturizer my face is so happy! It's light and smells great and keeps my skin moisturized all day. I don't know if it's helped with my complexion or skin tone yet but I'm betting it will.
Karie, Sharon and I went to see Water for Elephants at the dollar movies Tuesday. What a phenomenal movie! Through the whole movie I was waiting for an unhappy ending but I was pleasantly surprised when it had a happy ending. It's still a sad movie but one that didn't go the way I thought it would. I, obviously, haven't read the book but it'll go on my "one day" reading list.
As always joining at Bex...a Style Diary.

i've been getting into polish too lately, i posted on my new nail shades a few days ago because i was inspired by the tv show Jerseylicious and purchased bright neon colors and a gold polish!
i love the mint and lilac, very Essie nail polish-esque
Hi, Bug! Thanks for stopping by & saying hi. I love Jerseylicious but haven't been able to see it since the first half of season 1. Neon colors & gold polish are fun!! I haven't tried neon aside from pink but I love my gold polish.
